in my opinion they should be blue the tau get away with having red lances because the demiurg lances are way thinner then the chaos oneswould make sense that lazers would also be thinner then a giant ass lance?so if you can use the demiurg fx i would advise bluenot sure if thats an option though

It definately goes around the problem of making them indistinguishible from lances, I'll ask PM about it.

Okey new laser battery poll. Please everybody , tell us what you think.

Do you like the current red Imperial laser battery? This makes them easy to confuse with Chaos lances, and demiurg ion lances. Which means Demiurgs and Chaos are also easily confused......

Do you want it to be the orange once used for laser lances? (This would be a unique new effect)

Do you want it the same blue as lances? This would make them indistinguishable from imperial lances.

Do you want it to be the Tau ion cannon particle?It is blue so it is blue, but the Tau use it too.

Do you want it as a recoloured blue Demiurg ion lance particle? (This would be a unique new effect)

I am personally partial to the Recoloured Demiurg or the Orange laser lance ones, but the latter be the best since it is unique, can't be mistaken for imperial lances or another race's weapon, and PM had already made it so he does not need extra work with it.

After watching a quick video about laser strength with their different colors I vote them to be orange, just so they are diffferent but still "red"(Red lasers are better at burning things from far away, while blue ones are way better when the target is up close. So Imperial lance batteries with 6k range are blue, but laser batteries with 12k range can be orange.)

Well Imperial lasers actually work by firing an energy blast using the laser as a carrierwave the colour does not really matter, but I agree that orange is the best choice. It is totally unique and already made!
